News: Approval leads to job creation at Greenbuy Energy
Expanding Rotherham green energy company, Greenbuy Energy, is one of the first in the region to gain accreditation for a new energy saving initiative – which enables it to install free energy-efficient boilers to householders.
Greenbuy Energy, which has its headquarters in Dinnington and a showroom in Doncaster, has been approved for the government-backed ECO scheme – which is tasked with reducing carbon emissions, by replacing old inefficient boilers, with new "A" rated models.
The enterprise underwent a stringent assessment process to qualify as an ECO installer for A-rated boilers, which are being offered for free to qualifying house-holders.
Russell Paul, director of Greenbuy Energy, said: “We are very proud to have gained accreditation for ECO which enables us to replaces inefficient gas boilers with an A-rated high-efficiency condensing boiler. House-holders which qualify get a new boiler for free and worth approximately £1,600 - £2,500 depending individual requirements.
"These new boilers make a significant difference to carbon emissions so are good for the planet and can save householders hundreds of pounds each year on their gas bill."
Based at RiDO's Matrix at Dinnington Business Centre, Greenbuy has already taken on nine new members of staff to keep up with demand for the replacement boilers.
Introduced in January 2013, the ECO (Energy Company Obligation) is for the big six energy suppliers, and means that they are obliged to support affordable warmth and reduce carbon emissions. It includes providing heating and insulation improvements for low-income and vulnerable households, funding to insulate solid-walled properties and providing insulation measures to people living in the bottom 15% of the UK's most deprived areas. To reduce carbon emissions, energy suppliers decided the most efficient way was to set aside a pot of money each year to replace old boilers with the best rated boilers.
Russell explained: "To qualify there are set rules around if you receive certain benefits or tax credits and the household’s income level. The scheme is open to tenants, homeowners and landlords. We can talk people through the process and let them know very quickly whether they qualify for the scheme."
Greenbuy was created when business partners Russell Paul and Steven Peacock teamed up to give home and business owners clear information and advice on how to make their premises energy efficient.
